At approximately 2:00 a.m. on June 4 in San Carlos, Sonora, motorists on Manlio Fabio Beltrones Boulevard reported the sighting of bodies by the side of the road.
Police located four corpses that showed signs of torture.
Manlio Fabio Beltrones Boulevard is the main thoroughfare used by tourists and others to drive to the coastal resort town of San Carlos.
Same location as three other murders
According to press reports, the location where the bodies were dumped is just feet from where the bodies of three men in an Uber vehicle were found last year.
The dead included the Uber driver and two passengers from Hermosillo. The Uber vehicle had been reported missing during a trip from Hermosillo to Kino Bay.
Tourist warning
In addition to an out-of-control coronavirus outbreak in Sonora, be aware that there are frequent homicides in Sonora, and the Empalme – Guaymas – San Carlos area is a very active zone for killings.
We do not recommend any travel to Sonora during this time, with the possible exception of brief visits across the border.
